AFTER A Hi Muscles Twitching and Jump ing for Years, This Girl Tells how She wa Cured by Strengthing her Nervous System. Following a severe fright in childhood Miss Hannah Anderson, 85 Park Street, Abbottsford, Melbourne, developed St. Vitus' Dance in a very aggravated form. Developing into womanhood the complaint still persisted, making her life a burden, and she seemed unable to shake it off, despite a great deal of medical attention. Finally Miss Anderson decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and she found in time that the complaint was leaving her system. After so many years the disease had developed a good hold on her system, and it was only after persistent treatment with the pills that she was finally and completely cured. St. Vitus* Dance Ib caused by weak, run-down nerves, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been found to cure a vast number of cases owing to their tonic action on the nervous system. The following is Miss Andei'son's account of her illness and cure : "I got a severe fright w r hen I was a child tint sent me into hysterics, and shortly after that St. Vitus' Dance attacked me. I rapidly got worse. Every nerve and muscle T possessed would start twitching in the most painful manner. I simply could not control them. T would he sitting still, and all of a sudden every muscle would start off. evebrows. mouth and tongue would twist. My feet and hands would move. Mostly the left 1 side was the worst. I would put my left hand against my right side to steadv it. T would laugh and cry and then have fits of hysterics at the least excitement, even a knock at the door would send me off. I used to do a great deal of fancy work when I was able, but when ths twitching came on I would have to drop the. material, my hands would not hold it, and my tongue would work till it felt fairly numbed and paralysed so that I could not 'speak. At times I could not hold a cup of tea, or even a spoon, down they would go crash. Even to holding a needle was then beyond me. My speech was quite indistinct, at times I would mumble and hesitate and could hardly get the words out. I could hardly dare to go out by myself; I would fall right down. I tised to be helped to dress sometimes. I had no colour in my face or my lips. I could never eat to enjov my food, and iI was very thin. I was always depressed. When I walked I wquld drag one 1% after the other. .My shoulders would shrug and draw up, and all my face would twist. T had taken so iiaiiv J "biv>r r s ; " -*hi that T thought T would neve v !>•'•> better, but on© day I r c ad of a, so like mine that I resolved to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after a while mv nerves got a little stronger, and I was only too pleased to keep on. I took a large number of boxes as mine was such a severe case, and in time I was completely cured." Remember, only the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure.
